Shuhan

After coming down from Shouyang Mountain, we took a boat across the river and arrived at the military camp on the south bank.

Including civilians, there are nearly 200,000 people in the Wei army camp at this moment.

With two hundred thousand people gathered in one place, it was impossible to be quiet.

Most of those who serve as soldiers are not educated people, and they don't pay much attention to quality.

Shit and pee are all released at will.

If the military camp wasn't on the edge of a river, the military camp would probably be smelly right now.

Returning to the dragon tent, Cao Pi sat on the throne. He looked at Xiahou Shang, took a breath and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the army?"

Although Xiahou Shang was defeated, Cao Pi did not punish him and gave Xiahou Shang the responsibility of general and uprightness.

Being in charge of military and criminal law is a job that offends people, but it is also a job that trains people.

As the family grew bigger, Cao Pi had to increase his efforts to promote the clan.

In order to achieve the purpose of checking and balancing power.

Xia Houshang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal in the army. It is just that the military style is not correct. Soldiers gather in the camp, play games, and often gather to drink. This is the second best. In the army, At the end of the day, the general also discovered the military prostitute camp, where the nobles often stayed. If things go on like this, how can the soldiers have the will to fight? "

When Cao Pi heard this, his originally good mood was now ruined. He frowned slightly and his tone became a little heavier than he thought.

"Which camp has such a corrupt atmosphere?"

Xia Houshang said immediately: "The whole army is like this, but in the state barracks, the military style is the worst."

When Xia Houshang called his name, Du Ji, the Sili captain in charge of the state troops, immediately came out in fear.

"Your Majesty, fighting games and military prostitutes in the army have been around since ancient times. Soldiers are responsible for their lives. If they are over-restricted, it may lead to chaos!"

Du Ji was from the Jingzhao Du family. After the Jingzhao Du family defected to the Han, his situation became a bit embarrassing.

Although it is not unprecedented for the same family to serve different countries.

For example, the Zhuge family has its own influence in the three countries.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin are both valued by all parties.

But the Jingzhao Du family surrendered at the wrong time, which made Du Ji very embarrassed now.

There is also a lot of pressure.

"Oh?"

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is the case in the state barracks, and is it also the case in the imperial army?"

"This"

When he was told this, Du Ji couldn't answer immediately.

He feels bitter in his heart!
Drinking and gambling are prohibited in the military camp, but if you engage in a gambling game or have a drink in private, as long as your superiors acquiesce, then there is usually no problem without being discovered by the senior leaders.

The key is now that the big leaders know about it, and the unspoken rules are put on the surface, how can it look good?
But Du Ji had led soldiers, and he had to think from the perspective of soldiers. Soldiers had their lives tied to their belts. If the pressure could not be released, then the soldiers would be driven crazy.

Therefore, most of the commanders are very strict when fighting, but during breaks, they turn a blind eye; some military camps will carry out some sports to enhance morale.

For example, Wei Qing led his troops to fight. In the desert areas of the Western Regions, Wei Qing organized each battalion to play a game similar to desert volleyball, which not only exercised the soldiers' physical fitness, but also improved their morale.

Cuju was popular in the Song Dynasty, and Cuju was also an entertainment activity among the Song army.

Most of the other armies are like this, so why does Your Majesty have a problem with him?
Did Xia Houshang pay attention to him alone?
As for the camp prostitutes
It was invented by Guan Zhong during the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was not my first creation.

And this is also an unspoken rule in the military, which everyone acquiesces to.

Generally, when the army goes on an expedition, it will bring along some military prostitutes who have joined the army voluntarily or as convicts. These military prostitutes will usually help with cooking, and at night they will open the door to welcome guests to relieve the pressure on the soldiers.

Why is it wrong to come to me?
Du Ji felt aggrieved in his heart.

If you compare the imperial army with the state soldiers, if the state and county soldiers were treated like the imperial army, would they still be like this?

Then he can become an elite.

Du Ji felt wronged, but Cao Pi wanted to set an example.

"Colonel Sili is not strict in running the army, so he has taken his post and put it aside for future use! Sima Yi will take over the post of Lieutenant Sili!"

"This"

Du Ji was stunned on the spot.

Not
What big mistake did I make that warrants my resignation?
Bitter!

Du Ji felt angry, angry, and aggrieved, but in the end he had to hide all his emotions deep in his heart.

"Your Majesty is aware of his guilt."

If you don’t know the crime, what else can you do?

Can he still confront the emperor?
Cao Pi waved his hand, but Du Ji was speechless and had to slowly exit the dragon tent.

Having lost the support of his family and now being deprived of his position, he is no longer qualified to stand in this dragon tent. There is nothing better than this in life.

The ups and downs make people feel emotional.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and asked: "Zhongda often discusses military matters with me. Now I let the state soldiers take control of you. Can you reverse the situation?"

Sima Yi immediately came out.

As a popular person next to the emperor, there are too many opportunities to be promoted.

So much so that it has now become a powerful official position like Sili Xiaowei.

If you take a step forward, you can even do it for Sangong.

To say that Sima Yi's face was not excited would be a lie.

"I will definitely train the state soldiers strictly so that they can defeat the Han army when the battle comes!"

train?

Cao Pi shook his head.

"I won't give you too much time to train. If I want you to capture Pubanjin, cross the river to capture Hexi, then cross the Weishui River and capture Huayin, do you have the courage?"

After hearing what Cao Pi said, Sima Yi's expression changed.

"Your Majesty, do you want to learn the stories of the late emperor?"

At that time, the Guanzhong Allied Forces led by Cao Cao and Ma Chao and Han Sui fought at Tongguan.

Guanzhong has always been a land of four fortresses: the steep Qinling Mountains to the south, Tongguan and the Yellow River natural barrier to the east, the high mountains of Longshan and Liupan Mountains to the west, and the Ziwu Ridge and Huanglong Mountains on the Northern Shaanxi Plateau to the north.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao had three main routes to attack Guanzhong:

1. North Road: Exit Hedong, cross the Yellow River from Pubanjin to the west and enter;

2. Middle Road: along the main road, enter through Tongguan;
3. South Road: Go south to Wancheng first, then take a detour through Wuguan and Lantian.

Since the Qin Empire unified China based on Guanzhong, Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty also relied on Guanzhong's geographical advantages to unify the country.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "One Hundred and Two Qin Passes". Due to the dangerous terrain in Guanzhong, 20,000 soldiers can resist the attack of a million troops.

Especially when attacking Guanzhong from the Central Plains area to the east, it is basically an unfavorable situation for attacking from the top, especially through Tongguan.

Therefore, if Cao Cao wants to defeat the Mahan Group, which occupies a dangerous location in Guanzhong and has strong military strength and combat power, he must outwit them.

But now, Nanyang has been occupied by the Han Dynasty, and the southern road is no longer accessible.

The troops could only advance from the north road and the middle road.

The difficulty suddenly increased.

In addition, the current Wei army is not the previous Wei army, and the enemy is not a piece of scattered sand in the Guanzhong coalition, but an entire body of Han.

Not the same.

of course
There are also some that are the same.

Back then, the Guanzhong Allied Forces lost to the Wei Army because of logistical reasons.

Since Han Sui, Ma Chao and others gathered 100,000 troops in Tongguan in March of spring, and combined with the manpower used to transport grain and grass over long distances, the agricultural production of various ministries in Guanzhong was almost completely abolished that year. At that time, autumn had passed and winter was approaching, but the various ministries in Guanzhong could not collect new grains, and the whole army was in danger of running out of food.

Therefore, in order to avoid a protracted war, the Guanzhong Allied Forces had no choice but to cede territory and send hostages to ask for peace.

This is one of them.

Second.

At first, the Guanzhong gentry did not attach themselves to the Guanzhong Allied Forces. Now, because of the exploitation of the Han prince, they do not really attach themselves to the Han.

If the Wei army can win, the Guanzhong gentry will definitely respond.

But different, more numerous, and more deadly.

Emperor Wu was able to win because of his military superiority on the one hand, his logistical advantage on the other, and God's help on the other hand.

For example, when setting up camp on the south bank of the Wei River, it was difficult to complete the work due to the lack of suitable building materials and repeated attacks by Ma Chao's cavalry.

Later, taking advantage of the sudden cold weather, Cao Cao sent troops to pour a frozen sand city on the south bank at night.

At dawn, the construction of Dongsha City was completed.

The allied forces in Guanzhong attacked the camp at night and were ambushed by Cao Cao.

Building a stronghold overnight, what is this if not God’s help?
Now, does your majesty have God's help?

Sima Yi's thoughts went around in his mind for several times, and he considered the words in his mind, and then slowly said: "The reason why the late emperor was able to win back then was that the first was that the "light troops" tired the enemy. The second was that the "tiger cavalry" hit the enemy hard. The third is what the late emperor said:
'A fence with cars and trees leading to the corridor to the south is both invincible and shows weakness. Crossing the Wei River is a strong fortress, and the captives cannot get out, so they are arrogant. Therefore, the thieves do not seek to cede territory for the sake of the camp. I promised him obediently, so I followed his intention and made myself safe and not prepared. Once the beasts and soldiers attack them, the so-called thunder cannot cover their ears, and the changes of the soldiers are definitely not the same. '

It’s not the best idea to just copy the previous people’s strategies this time! "(End of chapter)
